Isolated right subclavian artery with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Te Hoven AS, Clur SA, Andreu JP, Hazekamp MG
We present two cases of isolated right subclavian artery from the right pulmonary artery (PA) associated with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and 22q11 microdeletion. Both patients were successfully managed with bilateral PA banding initially followed by a modified Yasui operation. Isolation of the subclavian artery is rare but should always be taken into account, especially when bilateral PA banding is considered. The banding must...

Severe tricuspid regurgitation is predictive for adverse events in tetralogy of Fallot.
Bokma JP, Winter MM, Oosterhof T, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, Hazekamp MG, Koolbergen DR, Groenink M, Mulder BJ, Bouma BJ
Objective: Patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) may develop functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) due to annulus dilation. Guidelines suggest pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with rTOF with progressive TR, but data on clinical outcomes are lacking. Our objective was to determine whether TR was predictive for adverse events after PVR. Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter cohort study, patients with rTOF who had undergone PVR after preoperative echocar...

The Post-Myocardial Infarction Pacing Remodeling Prevention Therapy (PRomPT) Trial: Design and Rationale.
Chung ES, Fischer TM, Kueffer F, Anand IS, Bax JJ, Gold MR, Gorman RC, Theres H, Udelson JE, Stancak B, Svendsen JH, Stone GW, Leon A
Background: Despite considerable improvements in the medical management of patients with myocardial infarction (MI), patients with large MI still have substantial risk of developing heart failure. In the early post-MI setting, implantable cardioverter defibrillators have reduced arrhythmic deaths but have no impact on overall mortality. Therefore, additional interventions are required to further reduce the overall morbidity and mortality of patients with large MI. Methods: The Pacing Remodeling...

Validation of an acoustic location system to monitor Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) long calls.
Spillmann B, van Noordwijk MA, Willems EP, Mitra Setia T, Wipfli U, van Schaik CP
The long call is an important vocal communication signal in the widely dispersed, semi-solitary orangutan. Long calls affect individuals' ranging behavior and mediate social relationships and regulate encounters between dispersed individuals in a dense rainforest. The aim of this study was to test the utility of an Acoustic Location System (ALS) for recording and triangulating the loud calls of free-living primates. We developed and validated a data extraction protocol for an ALS used to re...

Previously, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs9939609, in the FTO gene showed a much stronger association with all-cause mortality than expected from its association with body mass index (BMI), body fat mass index (FMI) and waist circumference (WC). This finding implies that the SNP has strong pleiotropic effects on adiposity and adiposity-independent pathological pathways that leads to increased mortality. To investigate this further, we conducted a meta-analysis of similar data from 34...
